Applications can take some time to complete, so make you to allow enough time before the closing date as late entries won't be accepted. If any of the information is inaccurate your application could be deemed ineligible.

In 2026 there are two rounds of HAPi funding:

Please note your project must start within 3 months of the decision date, but should not start until all grant paperwork has been finalised.

Employees of Heathrow Airport Limited are also supported in their fundraising for charities and community groups by a Matched Funding scheme in which the Trust may match 50% of the funds you have raised up to £250 per colleague. Up to a maximum of four colleagues can submit a joint application, eg for £1,000, if they have raised in excess of £2,000 between them for a particular charity. The fundraising must have taken place in the last 7 months before the deadline. Before starting your application, you must read through our Matched Funding Guidance and Criteria.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your application, please call us on 01895 839916 or email us at hct@groundwork.org.uk. Applications may take some time to complete, so make sure to allow enough time before the closing date as late entries won't be accepted. If any of the information is inaccurate your application could be deemed ineligible. Applications submitted before the round opens or after the deadline will not be eligible for funding.

There is a grant panel of Heathrow colleagues who make recommendations on both HAPi and Matched funding applications, so the application dates are the same for both programmes.
